Authorities warned against night travel

While the lady did not state where her bus was headed in the eastern region, the Nigerian police, several months ago, issued a warning against the potential risk of night travel, The Punch reports.

Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Mustapha, for Rivers state specifically served this warning to travellers within the state.

He hinged the security warnings on the recent kidnappings that have been happening. A part of his official state read:

“We have carried out a comprehensive security deployment along the roads from Airport Roundabout Omagawa to Isiokpo, Elele, and extending to the boundary with Imo, and from Elele to Omoku, Elele-Alumini. By the grace of God, these areas are now fortified."
